Circa 1, 700 miles from new
Serviced in November 2023 by McLaren Guildford
One of a limited series of 50, this McLaren 720S LM was built to mark the 25th anniversary of the five production McLaren F1 LMs built to honour the five McLaren F1 GTRs that finished the 1995 Le Mans 24 Hours race in 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th places in McLaren's first appearance at the world-famous endurance classic. Out of the 50 examples sold worldwide, only 16 were destined for Europe, each featuring a Le Mans dedication plate and 'McLaren 25 Anniversary Le Mans' logos.
This car is one of six 720S Le Mans in total in this country, with this car being chassis '006' out of the limited production run of 50 units. Finished in Sarthe Grey, it benefits from bespoke five-spoke alloy wheels finished in gloss dark Graphite Grey to match the style of the F1 LM cars, in addition to gold brake callipers that also featured on the McLaren F1.
The Le Mans boasts a vast array of options that include: MSO (McLaren Special Operations) Black Pack; stainless steel sports exhaust; Stealth Pack; black and papaya Alcantara interior theme with '25th Anniversary' stitching on the headrests and floor mats; primary interior components in carbon-fibre; MSO defined extended carbon paddles; interior ambient lighting; 360-degree park assist (parking sensors front and rear with reversing camera); vehicle tracking system; and the all-important vehicle lift system. A full listing of its exceptional specification is available.
The McLaren 720S Le Mans has astonishing performance delivered by the mid-mounted, 720PS (710bhp), M840T 4. 0-litre engine. The twin-turbocharged V8 propels the car from 0-62mph (0-100km/ h) in 2. 9 seconds, and on to a top speed of 212mph (341km/ h). The fully-functional roof scoop channels air to provide additional cooling for the engine while the carbon-fibre louvred front wings reduce aerodynamic lift generated by the rotation of the front wheels, as well as reducing vehicle weight.
This 720S Le Mans has had its 3rd annual service, which was completed on 6th November 2023 at 1, 278 miles at McLaren Guildford. The car is also offered its original user manual; a quick reference booklet; a service book; a valid MOT until March 2026; and an extra set of carbon fibre bucket seats.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams|Cars website for all pertinent auction information.
